Date slider facet configuration: facet field not found when configuring date slider

Hi guys.

For a customer, we are trying to insert a Facet Date Slider, and we have been given the approach listed below to accomplish this.

However, based on the configuration snippet in 1), we are not able to select the field from the dropdown in step 4), because the field does not show in the list. We have tried re-indexing and restarting Coveo, among other things, but without.

I suspect we are missing a computed field definition in the 'Coveo.SearchProvider.config' before adding the field-by-field-name definition. Can anyone point us in the right direction as to why the Published Date field is not found in the dropdown list for field on the Date Slider Facet?

The reason we need a new field to begin with is to search across different datasources where the data format differs.

Best regards,

Lasse

Date Facet slider :

Make the Date field as a Facet and of Date Type.

Go in the Content Editor and index 1 single item. This will send your new Field to the CES Fieldset.

Add a Facet field based on your new field (Donât forget to add the Tab Id property to link your facet to the tabâ¦ like the other facets in your implementation).
